Modern Priorities

When the internet goes down,
When you have no good shoes to wear,
When the only thing in the cupboard is bread and jam,
My friend, you shouldn’t care
When your friends no longer see you,
When you cannot buy a beer
When you pay your tax return
Things aren’t so bad here
When you see the ASBO adults
When the branch is shutting down
When love becomes a story
Then begin to frown
When the government goes down,
When you have no clothes to wear
When the only choice is food or power
Then my friend I care
